1.4 What Data Does CS Capture Gather?

CS Capture gathers the following set of information:

Machine environment information:

• Machine statistics (vmstat, iostat, prstat, mpstat, and netstat)

• Disk space usage (df)

• Details of running processes (ps)

• Hardware configuration (prtconf)

• Swap information (swap -l)

• Patches (showrev -p)

Calendar Server information:

• Configuration (contents of SUNWics5/config)

• timezones.ics file

• Calendar Server production database (optional)

• Calendar Server log files

Calendar Server running process information (optional):

• 3 gcores on each running process every 5 seconds

• Uses pkg_app (supplied) to collect debugger environment for gcore analysis

• Runs pstack and pmap against all gcores.

Core dump information from crashed processes:

• Searches and collects Calendar Server process cores

• Uses pkg_app (supplied) to collect debugger environment for core analysis

• Runs pstack and pmap against core files

Packages data:

• Uses tar and compress to package the data

Figure 1–1 shows a directory-layout diagram illustrating how the captured data is structured and archived:

The data gathered may vary, depending on the Calendar Server's configuration and the way cscapture is executed. (See 1.7 Running CS Capture for further information on different ways to run cscapture.) Also, certain directories will only exist if cores files are found.
